Just because I'm a nerd: you can look up coordinates on Google Maps or whatever else.

 

Here's track 2, which is for Sabbaday Falls in Vermont):

https://www.google.com/maps/place/43°59'38.9%22N+71°23'45.3%22W/@44.0265148,-71.8886353,9.46z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x0

 

And here's track 8, which is Rocky Road Extension in Carlton, MA by Hylka Lake):

https://www.google.com/maps/place/42°06'03.0%22N+71°55'03.3%22W/@42.1008336,-71.9197759,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x0

 

what, no love for track 4? ;)

 

track 4 is at the Farm and WIlderness Camp in Plymouth, VT 

 

https://www.google.com/maps/place/43%C2%B033'55.7%22N+72%C2%B045'11.9%22W/@43.5654656,-72.8233486,12z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x0

 

 

and because i'm also a nerd and love a good treasure hunt...

the google satellite view zoomed in actually pointed to a pretty specific and intriguing shape and because i'm bored at work, i dug around and it appears to be the site of a massive bonfire they have at the camp.

HA.... I guess I was geeking out too hard on them that I honestly didn't even notice track 4 was coordinates too. 

 

Teamwork!

 

haha glad you saved one for me to geek out over ;) i love stuff like that. my favorite necklace that i wear pretty much daily is the coordinates of the apartment i grew up in stamped into a small metal bar haha

 

go team map nerds!

But you can save on those shipping charges!

Haha guess that's a positive. Hopefully they have a close release date to each other. 

 

And I just now saw that it was 47 minutes. With 13 songs, I would have expected a little bit longer. Maybe the songs titled as coordinates are interludes of some sort?

Yeah it looks they are interludes - track lengths are here

I'm going into this with literally no expectations. I was a big fan of the last record when it came out, but the only songs off it that I still revisit are "Housebroken" and "Discomfort Revisited." If this is just as good as the last one then I'll be content. Also, I can't wait to see how those colors come out. TE always does such a great job with their vinyl and I can't imagine this will be any exception.

SUUUUPER excited to see Settle the Scar on the track list. Such a fantastic track and I'm eager to see if it's been redone

 

I had never even heard of it until just now. Certainly one of their best and might be one of the best songs I've ever heard. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
